This bread is a perfect, warm and tasty addition to your dinner. It’s super easy to make, and all the ingredients you need can be found in the pantry. It can be made with any kind of olives, and they will do a fantastic job of adding flavor to the dough. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
Ingredients
- 450 grams of flour
- 260 milliliters of warm water
- 2 teaspoons of baker’s yeast
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 jar of pitted olives
Instructions
- Place the flour and the yeast in a large bowl. Make a well (a hole in the middle of the flour), then add water, oil, and salt, and start mixing the flour in using your fingertips. When you form the dough, start kneading it and continue to do so for about 15-20 minutes.
- Chop the pitted olives and add them to the dough. After that, mix it again, form it into a ball, and let it sit covered in a warm place for about 40 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, start pushing the air out with the palms of your hands.
- Spread a little bit of flour over your working surface and place the dough on it. Using a rolling pin spread the dough to about 1 cm thickness.
- Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper, place the dough on it and let it rest for another 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Press in little holes with your fingers all over the dough, then pour some olive oil into them and bake for 25-30 minutes.
